• It was by Jesus Christ, on the way to Damascus; and by the Father, it appears to me, when the Holy Spirit said, “Separate to me Barnabas and Paul.” (“Galatians 1-2” by J.N. Darby)

• The two great evils into which the assemblies at Galatia had fallen were the insistence on keeping the law in order to be saved, and the adoption of apostolic succession, or the principle of clerisy, in order to be a servant of the Lord. (“Galatians 1” by H. Smith)

• The statement that Paul's apostleship was "neither by man" strikes at the whole principle of clerisy. Those in the clerical system may freely admit that their authority is not from man, but they would not, and could not, say that it was neither by man. Paul received his authority, and his direction, not from Peter or the twelve, but from the risen Christ. (“Galatians 1” by H. Smith)

• At once the Apostle asserts that his apostleship was not “from man” as a source, nor “by man” as a means. (“Galatians 1” by H. Smith)
